BE THANKFUL

have you ever noticed the tapping beat of a heart,
the smell of the crisp morning after a storm,
the soft touch of the flowers that smells tart,
the whisper of the wind through the leaves torn.

roses may smell amazing to some,
but the touch to a rose can hurt when done,
the prick to the finger can draw blood,
to prove you're worthy of the beauty that will flood.

don't treat the gift like a routine,
show respect and that you're greatful in everything,
never act as if life isnt important to you,
because if you dont, you wont realize when your wishes come true.

when its too late and theres no time left,
you are then stuck with the results of your theft,
no words can describe the agony you'll feel,
when you've lost all you love it becomes surreal.

be thankful for what you have, it might not always be there.
and be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

after i found out that im going to be having a baby girl.. im thankful for what i have, but i have to be careful sometimes, because its easy to take things and people in your life for granted... and now im very cautious about being thankful for how blessed i am.
